GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part about Arabia are the teachers the good ones are aways willing to help and provide supplemental knowledge or answer any questions you have. The worst part is also the teachers of you get a bad teacher or no teacher at all you're essentially left self-studying trying to learn the whole curriculum with no guide or assistance and that makes it hard not only to learn but to enjoy learning or school itself.

The course load is rigorous, and it took her about 2 months to really get acclimated to the amount of work she has on a daily basis. Using a daily planner has helped her tremendously in getting and staying organized, which is a MUST...
